Electric Volvo Sedan and Wagon Could Reportedly Go on Sale in 2028
- Volvo may start selling a new electric sedan and wagon in the United States in 2028, according to Automotive News.
- The models will share the SPA3 platform with the upcoming EX60 and will likely be priced starting in the low-$50,000 range.
- The new EVs will be built in Europe, and Volvo doesn't expect to see more than 10,000 units combined per year in the United States.
Despite its rich history of selling station wagons, Volvo doesn't currently offer a single longroof model in the United States, following the demise of the V60 and V90 after the 2026 model year. But that may soon change, according to a new report from Automotive News, which states that an electric wagon—along with a sedan counterpart—could arrive in the U.S. in 2028.
Citing an anonymous source familiar with Volvo's plans, the AN report states that the future electric sedan and wagon are already under development for the European market, but that homologating them for the U.S. wouldn't be a huge challenge. If Volvo does follow through, the EVs would reach dealerships on our shores in 2028.

These new models will likely wear the 60- or 70-series badging. Given that Volvo is already selling an electric sedan overseas called the ES90, we wouldn't be surprised to see this new model dubbed "ES60" in sedan form, and possibly "EV60" in wagon form. A more rugged-looking Cross Country version of the wagon is also potentially in the cards.
The two models will be assembled in Europe and will utilize Volvo's SPA3 platform, which underpins the EX60 SUV that's expected to go on sale this year. Pricing will likely start in the low-$50,000 range, per the report, and Volvo apparently isn't expecting huge sales, targeting around 10,000 units combined per year.
We've reached out to Volvo, and the company declined to comment. While this report isn't official, the news isn't entirely surprising after Volvo CEO HĂĄkan Samuelsson recently said that he expects station wagons to make a comeback within the next 10 years. "We believe that the market may have gone a bit too far into a single SUV market," he told Motor1 in an interview. "I don't think 10 years from now, we will only have SUVs from Volvo." Now it seems we won't have to wait even close to 10 years to see a return to wagons for the Swedish automaker.
